However, we do not know how acceptable these types of supports might be to the Autistic and autism communities.

Characterizing predictors of response to behavioral interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analytic approachA comprehensive understanding of specific factors contributing to variability in responsiveness of children with autism to interventions is paramount for making evidence-based clinical and policy decisions. This meta-analysis examined child and family characteristics, as well as intervention design factors, associated with outcomes of behavioral interventions for children with autism.
